Kelly McGillis, best known for playing teacher to Tom Cruise in "Top Gun," has confirmed long-held rumors that she's a lesbian, according to an interview on the website shewired.
"I'm done with the man thing," says McGillis, 51, who is twice married and twice divorced and has two teenage daughters. "I did that, I need to move on in life. It's a part of being true to yourself. That's been a challenge for me."
The Daily Mail says McGillis' sexual orientation was Hollywood's worst-kept secret. (Funny, we thought the worst-kept secret was that Jodie Foster was gay. Or John Travolta. We could go on.)
The Popeater.com blog says the announcement crushes "a million middle-aged hearts."

I take it that it's a seafood restaurant?
We already know Kelly.
Well that's exactly how she described it. Goes to prove a point that homosexuality is a CHOSEN lifestyle, not a genetic one.
Thanks, I just noticed the typo. I’m a retard.
Sure. BTW what’s a ‘restaint’?
I can tell you that there were stories about her and Jodie Foster back when they did “The Accused” together 20 years ago.
Lighten up nothing. This is primarily a political web site that naturally has a far higher level of decorum than it's counterparts on the left. Mostly because because of the difference in the kind of people it attracts. Specificially, thinking people vs. morons. Mild profanity, in its place, is acceptable. But crudity, bathroom humor, and explicit use of certain words and phrases that work just fine in a locker room, narrows the gap between us and them. Do you like being vastly superior in nearly every way to the idiots at KOS, or don't you?
So is she changing her name to Kelly McGaylez?
“I take it that it’s a seafood restaurant?” Nope Tacos right next to the carpet store. ;-)!
You'll have to ask the poster that made that point. There is a general agreement that scoring points from typos isn't good form.
I'm no prude, and I don't think most people here are. But every thing has it's place. My eyes didn't burn when I read your post. But I didn't get any smarter by reading it either. When, on rare occasions, I wade into the leftist internet swamp, my main reaction is usually "what barbarians and losers these people are". I think the differences between us and them are worth preserving. Their side may be calling the shots now, but I doubt it is due to their superior ability to drop f-bombs twice per sentence.
As far as what constitutes mild profanity: where the hell do you get off asking that damn question? I suppose if you can imagine John Wayne or Clark Gable using it in a fox hole, it's OK with me. I can't imagine John Wayne talking about rug munching.
I’m more of a Bruce Willis fan....
I guess I can be a little rough around the edges. You are absolutely correct about those yahoos on the left. In all fairness, if this were an Issue based post, my response would not have been crude.
P.S. I fixed the typo. Some good did come out of all this guttural profanity.
Yes, I’m very sad that she was raped years ago. This may have impacted her.
Good overall point, which is that we don’t know what causes homosexuality. The gay activists at Human Rights Campaign and Lambda Legal do not know what causes homoseuxal or bi-sexual or any of the other “orientations”.
Nobody knows what causes these behaviors. I wish that fact was more publicized as we go through the national debate on gay marriage, gay this, gay that, numerous gay celebrities, etc. etc.
She probably caught “the Ghey” from Tom Cruise. It apparently has spread all thru Hollywood like the Swine Flu.
It does seem to be the cool and trendy thing these days. I am beyond caring, except that I refuse to call it just another form of normal.
I’m impressed by your responses. I expected retribution, but instead, you considered the posts and didn’t just lash out. Bravo for you (from a female who sometimes wishes men were just a little less crude, but knows that that’s the price I pay for being allowed to hang out with them).
On the flipside, though, Portia’s got terrible taste.
Thank you for the post. No need to lash out. Though in all honesty I was taken back by the responses. The topic is not all that serious and I was just having a little fun. I noticed my original post was deleted. I guess I did cross a line.
“I can’t imagine John Wayne talking about rug munching.”
He did, however, say that Rock Hudson was “a waste of a face on a fag,” referring to the career he could have had with Hudson’s looks.
“a waste of a face on a fag,”
John Wayne...A Classic.
